Hi guys! Here is the first of several easy Halloween costume ideas I will be presenting in the next two weeks. First up: an easy homemade Scarecrow costume! I love how cute and simple this costume turned out to be; and the best part is that you can literally put this look together in less than 10 minutes!

For this costume, all you need to wear is your favorite pair of jeans, a comfy plaid shirt (if possible, try to get one in Autumn colors like mine), a pair of boots, and of course a hat. As simple as that.

The key part of this costume is definitely the makeup. I used a black eyeliner to draw these designs on my nose and mouth. I also outlined the bottom of my eyes with a subtle scarecrow-ish (invented word!) design. I finished it off by adding a little orange eyeshadow to the circle on my nose (optional!). I promise this makeup isn't hard to do at all, give it a try!

A great way to finish off this costume is to grab some hay and stuff it into the top of your boots and out of the sleeves of your shirt. I used just a little bit, but you could go all out with the hay! As a prop, I also bought some big plastic sunflowers to give it that Autumn Scarecrow look.

And there you have it everyone, a super easy homemade halloween costume that can be put together at the very last minute! I hope you have enjoyed the first of my Halloween costume ideas, stay tuned to see more!

Such a great idea for a costume, Marie! I love how easy this is, but it still looks fantastic and original because of the details! As a big fan of The Wizard of Oz I feel like I definitely have to give this costume a try! ;)

Yaaaiii!!! So glad you liked it Jody!!! Yaaii!!! I am trying to post simple and a little more elaborate costume ideas this year. I like how this one can be whiped together at the very last minute. It makes me so happy to see that you liked it! Thank you!!

Awesome idea! I needed a last minute costume to wear to work (I'm a preschool teacher) & this works perfect since I have everything I need! I took a straw hat pretty much made a fall floral arrangement on it! Then I opted to do two low side braids (messy) & used straw tucked into tops of my boots & shirt pocket! I love your make-up idea too! Thanks soooo much! This was perfect for me!
